Cedar Key vs Peony
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cedar Key belongs to the beige-greige family and Peony to the pink-red family. Cedar Key (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Peony (LRV 19), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cedar Key runs warm while Peony is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
